%% Importance Notice and Tips:
% This template has already make sure the line spacing, margins and most of the format settings are correct.
% But the student will have to make sure the followings
%
% ``At least two sentences in each paragraph.''
%
% Also, try to better arrange your figures/tables. LaTeX does not guarantee this.
% whenever you include a figure/table
% makesure you are adding [htbp] as \begin{figure/table}[htbp]
% this will help with the figures/tables and arrange them at the place in text as precisely as possible
% but you still need to slightly adjust the place where you need to include the figure/table
% make sure your figures/tables do not interrupt the paragraphs
%
% for the chapter headings and figure/table captions, always capitalize the first character to make sure the format of SmallCap can be applied correctly
%
% when you need to write quotation marks in LaTeX, use `` as the beginning and '' as the ending. e.g., ``example quotation''
%
% This is a rare case. If there is a single number or character at the end of a paragraph, use a ~ mark to connect them. e.g., ``xxxxxxxx and here is the last objective~i.''
% in this way, ~ will be rendered as a space and make sure the last character ``i'' will not be isolated in a new line.
